This crochet mustache cup cozy was originally published in 2018.
I loved working quick projects back then when I would sell finished crochet items.
I also remember how much I loved doing crochet colorwork projects. I loved the accomplishment I felt after finishing something. And it always felt amazing that I could create such a nice project just by using several different colors strategically in a project.
I am excited to share this crochet colorwork mustache cup cozy with you.
I think this cup cozy can make a great gift for someone or it can be a great item to sell at craft fairs.

Thank you for this cute pattern. I have decided to do it for my husband. He always says the cup gets too hot when he picks it up. Therefore, when he sees the mustache, he will get a good laugh and it will also serve to protect his hands. Hopefully, he will not spill coffee all over himself fashioning the mustache off in his truck’s rear view mirror. Lol.
